Continental Tires Reviews

I just had these new tires installed a little over a year. While driving my car along I-5 with my son. The front passenger side tire just burst for an unexplainable reason. I was so shocked and afraid. As I know how dangerous it is to have a front tire burst while driving along a highway. Thus, endangering my life and my son’s as well. And mind the other commuters and drivers. I have some video how the tire look like when I stopped. And to be honest, I’m still wondering how I escaped and avoided a tragic accident. Good thing I was able to maneuver and handle my wheels, as straight as I can until I was able to put it to a complete stop.
Now, to anyone who see the video, can you possibly share with me your thoughts what might have happened or caused why the tire burst. Because I am really confused if this is a manufacturer's defect or installer's mistake? I pray if it is manufacturer's defect, that whatever I experienced will not happen to other consumers who bought the same product/same tire.
Continental Tires causing vibration and only 20,000 miles. These tires also dry rot quick.. Looked up recall and the tire came up with that number. But NTB who sold them to me said that the number didn't match date of manufacturer's. Who is lying? Worst tires. I ever bought. Do not buy these tires.

My 2022 Kia Rio S came with Continental Tires. At under 8,000 miles, one of the tires went flat and could not be repaired. I took it to the dealership (an authorized reseller) and learned that Continental Tires do not stand behind their product. I always buy my new tires at Costco (which warranties their tires for road damage and gives prorated prices on tires that require replacement).
I cannot understand why Continental Tires wouldn't provide coverage for its tires to last at least 8,000 miles. Because there is so much tread on my tires, I only need to replace the one ($166 installed at the Kia dealership -- no discount, no prorating, and no warrant from Continental Tires); otherwise, I would go to Costco for a new pair (or all four). Bottom line: avoid Continental Tires. Costco Tire Center spoiled me.
Do not buy tires from Continental Tire Company. They don’t stand behind their tires. My daughter's tires started dry rotting after two years. The tread separated from the sidewall of the tire. They wouldn’t warranty the tires. This company has had three recalls in the last 4years.

Continental DWS tires are a great performance tire that can also handle snow. Pretty decent longevity as well. Have a set on both my cars now. Really close to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on dry pavement, a little better on wet pavement.
I have bought 4 new vehicles that were equipped with Continental Tires and had issues with all but 1 set. 7 of the tires were replaced by the vehicle manufacturer due belt separation and/ or flat spots. Currently, I have 2 more that are needing to be checked due to vibration. In the future, if the vehicle I am looking to purchase has Continental Tires on it, I will walk away. I have talked to Continental's customer service several times and was told each time it was up to the vehicle manufacturer to take care of the issue.
Do not buy Continental Tires. The front are bald at 30000 km. They say 20000 km so I would need 3 sets a year. What a joke. I got Prelli tyres done 70000km better tyres. They said 20000km good. Would not buy Continental.
I have a 2013 Toyota Camry 16" base LE trim. Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus tires have serious quality issues. All the sidewalls cracked caused a blowout while I was driving. I've only been driven less than 30,000 miles on those tires with 80,000 miles warranty. The technician that looked at my car told me he doesn't often seen a tire blowout so uniformly on the sidewalls that appears someone slicing a cake with different portions. He said most tire blowouts would either ripped apart from sidewalls or look different than mine. He said those Continental tires had such a weak sidewalls that's what caused the issues with mine. I will never buy another Continental tires again. They have serious quality control issues and could have caused another person serious injury while driving on defective tires. And manufacturing defect only covered under 1 year. Do Not Buy from this brand!
Purchased a new 2018 Buick Encore Sport Touring. My car is now 3 years old and they told me I need new tires. I have 37,000 miles on 65,000 mile warranty tire and they are no good. I take my car for its regular service and tire rotation only at the dealer. I ask if there is a proration period on my tires. After checking into it they would cost me more to go that way rather than just buy them new without the proration. I ask how can a 65,000 tire be no good already and they reply was because of the roads. I have never had tires go bad so quick and will not invest my money into tires that will not last.
I have had 2 tires form a flat spot. It is not from road hazard. The tires just failed in the same way. It is obvious they have a defect but Continental will not acknowledge or do anything. I will never buy any tires from them again.
